[Bug 874717] Re: package apt-utils 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: package apt-utils is already installed and configured

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The error is really a hardware problem or something similar, it's not a
bug in dpkg. Input/output error is just an error that comes back from
the hardware.

Unpacking replacement apt-utils ...

dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute old post-removal script
(/var/lib/dpkg/info/apt-utils.postrm): Input/output error

dpkg: warning: subprocess old post-removal script returned error exit
status 2

dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/apt-
utils_0.8.16~exp5ubuntu13_i386.deb (--unpack):

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
